Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.
The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.
Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.

From an unnamed Balkan landscape to a baseball diamond at a small Midwestern college to an alternate universe, the fiction offerings of 2011 ranged far and wide. Here are the 10 that our Monitor reviewers found to be the most outstanding.
The settings in three-time O. Henry Award winner Edith Pearlman’s outstanding short story collection Binocular Vision (Lookout Books, 375 pp.) range from fictional Godolphin, Mass., to Jerusalem, Latin America, and czarist Russia. Throughout them all, notes Monitor critic Yvonne Zipp, “Pearlman writes with the kind of serene precision that would astonish any writer.” (CSMonitor.com review, 3/1/11)
